There's a wide variety of ways a patient can keep comfortable. Obviously, the first and foremost is to make sure there's no pain associated with any of the procedures. That always involves local anesthesia. Now, how you receive or perceive that local anesthesia is very different on every patient. Some people have a different experience, background. Some people, like myself, have been beat up when they were kids with different things – root canals, extractions, et cetera. So some people are just scared of what's going to happen because of the experience that they've had. But once they understand that a lot of the procedures, they're not bad, it's just once you get numb. And I like to talk to my patients and talk them through procedures so that they get more comfortable. So there's a way you can get past local anesthesia, so sometimes we can use (inaudible), which relaxes a patient a little bit. We can oral, a pill, medications which relaxes. (Inaudible).

We also have the capability here where we can bring a dental anesthesiologist, where they can actually sedate the patient or even put them to sleep where they don't remember the experience at all. So whether or not they felt the pinches, they have no idea. Regardless, everything is numb, but they don't remember any of the experience. Some patients, because of unfortunate history at the dental office, would prefer that. But again, there's a wide variety.

And every patient is, again, individually selected. And every patient individually picks their plan: “Hey, listen. I'd like to do this. But for that procedure, I'd like to do that.” And we kind of go with whatever they want or whatever they need actually. We have to make sure that a patient, way ahead of the procedure, is informed of what's going to happen. They call and schedule everything. During the procedure everybody makes sure that the patient's calm, comfortable, including myself. The staff and the assistants are phenomenal.

And then the aftercare as well, the staff always reaches out to the patients to make sure they're okay. And then the post-op care, make sure the patient is okay. If there's any issues, any complications, the patients can always reach out to me any time, during the day, at night. I'm a trauma surgeon on call, so my phone rings all the time.
